Suter is set to rejoin the Brewers within the next 24 hours, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Suter is already with the team in Milwaukee after spending the last week with Triple-A Colorado Springs, but will not be activated until Thursday. The southpaw was named the 26th man during the Brewers doubleheader on June 13 against the Cardinals, and threw 4.2 innings, allowing three earned runs and one walk while striking out one. Thus far in 2017, Suter has racked up a 4.42 ERA at the Triple-A level, with a 38:8 K:BB in over 36 innings of work.

Adleman (4-4) gave up three runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out seven over five innings in a loss to the Rays on Wednesday.

Walks were his Achilles' heel in this one -- they drove up his pitch count, and two of the four runners Adleman put on via the free pass came around to score. He's been on a fairly strong run since a May 20 blowup against Colorado, posting a 2.68 ERA over his last six starts, so he's probably secure in his role even with Homer Bailey (elbow) and Brandon Finnegan (shoulder) nearing returns. That said, the walks, a middling strikeout rate and a hitter's home park put Adleman merely on the periphery of standard mixed-league relevance.

Weigel will consult with Dr. James Andrews this week after an MRI on his elbow revealed a possible torn ligament, David O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

The 22-year-old seemed to be on the cusp of making his big-league debut after a promotion to Triple-A Gwinnett in early May, but the rest of his 2017 campaign is now in jeopardy after he came out of a nine-run implosion Sunday complaining of elbow soreness. The Braves will determine whether Tommy John surgery is required after Weigel's visit with Dr. Andrews, a procedure which could keep him out of action until next year's All-Star break.

Stewart threw three innings of no-hit ball to finish off the Mets in Tuesday's 12-0 win, striking out four while allowing just a walk and a hit batsman for his first career save.

Stewart's current long-relief role doesn't lend itself to much fantasy value, as he won't see many chances to earn three-inning saves like this one. However, his promising track record in the minors should eventually earn him some starts when room opens up in the Dodgers' rotation.

Gsellman (5-5) gave up eight runs (seven earned) on nine hits and three walks over 4.1 innings against the Dodgers on Tuesday. Four of the hits he allowed were home runs.

Gsellman's now experienced consecutive seven-run catastrophes, and considering that he wasn't doing all that swimmingly even before these last two outings, it's getting hard to justify hanging onto him in most fantasy formats. Last season's 2.42 ERA is looking an awful lot like a flash in the pan, but with few alternatives in the pipeline, the Mets will have to stick with Gsellman for a while yet. He's lined up to make his next start Sunday in San Francisco.

Moore (3-7) gave up three runs on seven hits over seven innings in Tuesday's win over Atlanta. He struck out six and walked one.

Not generally known for his control, Moore was on point in this one, throwing 71 of his 102 pitches for strikes. It was a much-needed improvement after the lefty got rocked for 16 earned runs in 13 innings over his prior three outings, but Moore still has ugly season numbers with a 5.82 ERA and 1.58 WHIP, and it doesn't look like he's going to start rattling off gems anytime soon. He'll draw the Mets at home on Sunday.

Melancon recorded his 11th save with a perfect ninth inning against the Braves on Tuesday.

After giving up six runs in his past 1.1 innings, Melancon needed a positive outing and found the Braves compliant. That said, the veteran closer has had his stats skewed by a few ugly outings -- between his two-run season debut and that two-game rough patch he just ended, Melancon put up a 1.15 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 14:1 K:BB over 15.2 innings. With few attractive alternatives available in the Giants' bullpen, he's in no danger of losing his closing job despite his ugly season stat line.

Medina, 20, has a 3.13 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 75:23 K:BB in 60.1 innings at Low-A Lakewood.

He may not have pinpoint command just yet, but Medina is striking hitters out at a 28.7 percent clip after notching just a 12.8 percent mark last year in short-season ball. Few pitching prospects have improved their dynasty league stock as much as Medina has this season. He has one of the best changeups in the lower levels of the minors and also has the potential for a plus fastball and plus breaking ball when he reaches the big leagues in two or three years.

Erceg, 22, is hitting .239/.283/.368 with six home runs and a 48:14 K:BB in 265 plate appearances at High-A Carolina.

It has been a slow start to the season for Erceg, but he is heating up, hitting .316/.359/.456 with six extra-base hits in 57 June at-bats. His poor luck on balls in play (.272 BABIP) is partially responsible for the mediocre batting line, and his 18.1 percent strikeout rate is excellent for someone with his power potential.

Morejon, 18, gave up one run on three hits with one strikeout in three innings in his professional debut for short-season Tri-City.

There was some thought that Morejon would make his professional debut in the Arizona League, but the Padres opted to give their prized lefty a more aggressive assignment. Look for his stock to continue to climb as long as he is effective for the Dust Devils. It would not be surprising if he made it to the Midwest League before the end of the season.
